Police are still trying to identify suspects in the homicide of a 61-year-old Greeley man.

Gumercindo Munoz-Vizcaino, known to friends and family as Carlos or Carlitos, was found dead Aug. 15 at a home in the 2100 block of 5th Street, according to Greeley police. Greeley police Sgt. Susan West, spokeswoman for the department, said the coroner has not determined an official cause of death, but investigators are treating Munoz-Vizcaino’s death as a homicide.

“We’re making progress,” Greeley police Chief Jerry Garner said.

Police responded to the home about 6 p.m. after a resident reported seeing a man inside who looked injured, according to a news release. Witnesses have told police they saw a group of men in their late teens to early 20s running from the area on foot around 4 p.m. Thursday, fleeing north and then east.

Police say community members aren’t in danger, as the homicide doesn’t appear to be a random act.

Munoz-Vizcaino, originally of Chihuahua, Mexico, had four children and one step-child, along with 19 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, according to his obituary. He worked for more than a decade at Andersen’s Sales and Salvage in Greeley and was the neighborhood mechanic.

Services are planned for 4-8 p.m. Monday at the Moser Funeral Service Chapel, 3501 11th Ave. in Evans.

Investigators are asking anyone with information pertinent to the investigation to contact investigator John Kinne through the Weld County Communications Center at (970) 350-9600.
